1. Seether

Proof that there are negative forces in the universe. After Kurt’s untimely passing, some jerk decided it was okay to make “post-grunge” a thing, and the world was given Seether. What’s most annoying is that frontman Shaun Morgan kinda really sounds like Kurt Cobain, and is adamant about his fandom. He’s actually pretty hard to hate.

5. Paul Anka

I love that this starts with Paul Anka saying, “Nirvana! Yes… Nirvana,” as if no one really understands what’s about to happen. So he clearly doesn’t think he’s Kurt, but, like, this is kind of awesome. Right? Yes… Nirvana.

8. Flyleaf

Remember Flyleaf? That one band that was kind of like Evanescence and had that one song where the frontwoman would scream a lot? Citing Nirvana as one of their major influences (the other is God?) the band attempted to cover “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” which I believe would have been OK if Lacey Mosley sang in her own register and didn’t attempt Kurt inflections. Because no.

9. Jared Leto

What was supposed to be a touching tribute to Kurt ended up being just another gross thing post-Jordan Catalano Jared Leto did, dressing up as the Nirvana frontman during the band’s MTV Unplugged session, six months before Kurt’s suicide. He attempts to recreate the scene, even dying his hair blond which is just, well, creepy. You do you, Jared. Leave Kurt out of it.

10. Russian Kurt

Sometimes, in other countries, people pop up with angel voices. These people often sound like Kurt Cobain, and are allowed to reap the financial benefits of covering, and quite often, embodying the past icon. This is Russian Kurt. He doesn’t dress up like Cobain, but he certainly sounds like him. Eerily beautiful!
